WVHEN you see several eager girls going up to the Quincy school at two-thirty, after school some night, it isn't because they were sent back there to learn their ABC's. No, they are one of the several groups that go there after school one night a Week to practice a cupid act. After the first three or four lessons under lNIr. Clark's excellent instruction, the beginners can count scores instead of just finding out how many times they hit the target at all. lVhen the warm weather comes the girls go out on the front lawn. They try to get in enough practice before this great event so that they will not look too foolish as they are watched by many of the students who come out'later than QA5. These fair RobiniHoods:have a grand time shooting and all agree with enthusiasm that archery beats all sports for real fun. lihlk.. ' W i22l '

'LL THE Rifle Club this year is a group of about twelve boys. Under the able direction ot llr. Beede, these boys shoot every Thursday at the Quincy High School. They hope that by next year they will have a range of their own at the Quincy School. Two rifles and all ammunition as well as targets are pro- vided by the government for the use of the Club. There was some consterna- tion in the Club when they feared for a while that llr. Beede might be drafted. Fortunately, however, he is still with them. Under his direction the boys soon become good marksmen and have shot several matches with other schools. llost of their shooting is done lying flat on the ground but later the boys learn to shoot kneeling and standing as well. The officers are Hunter iNIacDonald, presidentg Jack Ryan, vice-presidentg and Roy Leoppard, secretary-treasurer. 1211 'rl' 'es Y i'iL'7'pf i-'fi-Q' 'w Nw r- Vp, . Ls' - ju K fl .

The members ride once a week in the spring and fall through the beautiful bridle paths of the Blue Hills. In the fall, Ferguson's Riding .teaderny golds a gymkhana in which the girls eornpete in a horsemanship contest, play Going to Jerusalem and have balloon battles, egg-on-a.-spoon races, and costume relays'-all on horse- baek! On their last ride in the spring, the girls ride up to fliiekzmtawbut, which gives a grand View of the neighboring hills and the ocean. l23l
